Question
Although sea-level falls can be tied to tectonic activity, they most commonly are tied directly to growth of A. new species B. ice sheets C. volcanic activity
Solution
The most common cause of sea-level falls is directly tied to the growth of ice sheets. When the Earth's temperature decreases, more water is stored in ice sheets. This reduces the amount of water in the oceans, causing sea levels to fall. This process is not typically linked to the emergence of new species or volcanic activity. Therefore, the correct answer is B. ice sheets.
